First Presbyterian Tacoma Wedding: Josh + Rachel

First Presbyterian Church Tacoma Wedding

I love this family. LOVE THEM. Maybe it's the similar upbringing, (I feel right at home) maybe it's the love shared between the siblings, their great sense of style (you know who you are) or the purity and passion in their weddings. Whatever it is, this family is a gem- the real deal. It is always a particular honor to be invited into a family for the second time, I feel that trust and it makes me just want to fulfill every bit of that expectation. 

  With that said, it's a delight to share these photos. Josh and Rachel, you guys have a treasure in the "crowd of witnesses" that are rooting you on and behind you every step of the way. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the "crowd" for the  day :D 

 And Rach- I still think you look like Queen Elizabeth and you have the record for the best bridal entrance of my career. (for reals- I was crying, but so was everyone else)  

First Presbyterian Church of Tacoma (Amy and Erin) thank you for hosting this lovely wedding, and for running us around that gorgeous church all day. Couldn't have done this glamorous fashion-forward wedding without you! 

Thank you to Monica, my trusty assistant and second shooter.

Annie Wright School Wedding

Annie Wright School in Tacoma in a stunning (and I mean stunning) wedding venue. Unexpected, dripping with old-world romance, charming, grand-- it's got all the makings for a perfect host for your wedding soiree. As a Portland wedding photographer, I love traveling to Tacoma to shoot weddings just outside of my hometown. Annie Wright School weddings can be indoors or outdoors in their on-site wedding chapel or the magnificent brick courtyard adjacent. The Annie Wright school property is also a beautiful backdrop for wedding photography, bridal portraits and golden hour photos. I mean, who wouldn't want to have portraits against all that Downtown Abby-esque beauty? 

  On a recent trip to Tacoma for a wedding, I shot 5 or 6 rolls of medium format film. Of course, these fine art images are by far my favorite of all the wedding photos captured that day. I really just need to shoot all film (except for the expense- eek!) 

  Enjoy these fashion inspired Annie Wright School wedding photos!
